Great job! You must be very warm-blooded to fix that rig in the cold. Based upon the squeak of the snow, and your breath fog, I would guess the temperature was around 10-15 deg F. You probably know this, but for others: in cold weather it is common to loose air pressure because air shrinks in the cold, but it doesn't not necessarily mean you have a tire problem because the low air light comes on. I try to over inflate a little when cold weather is coming, or don't worry too much if the light comes on after a recent plunge in temp. Also, I disconnect my battery to prevent parasitic loss of charge from the computer systems, etc. when I leave it sitting for a while. Have you ever thought of using a block heater on that LX? It starts fine, but most engine wear happens in cold starts while the oil is still thick.

It was minus 4 degrees F. Because my phone weather was showing minus 20 degrees Celsius. You are right about the tire pressure drop in winter because of sub temperatures. Yes, I did think of installing a block heater, but I am planning the sticky pad type of block heater for the oil crankcase and in this temperature the block heater pad glue won't stick. This coming summer, God willing, I will jump on installing a block heater. At the mean time, I am using high quality 5W-30 synthetic oil and I have tested this oil first hand and saw this oil never freeze in cold temperature.
